"Austism is like a rainbow. There is a bright side and a darker side. But every shade is important and beautiful."

The first Sunday of every month Chuck E Cheese hosts a Sensory Sensitive Sunday event.  This is a two hour event which includes little to no music, dim lights, and no crowds.  Check with your nearest Chuck E Cheese before going to make sure they participate in this event.

 The third Friday of every month The Children's museum hosts a FREE sensory friendly night to kids with disabilities and their families.  This facility also has a cool down room if your child needs a little break.  I do recommend that you register ahead of time.
